Novell Delivers Moonlight 1.0 for Rich Media on Linux

During both the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics and President Obama's inauguration, many Linux users were seriously miffed that Microsoft's Silverlight rich application plug-in was required for viewing. Today, the Mono Project, one of Novell's open source initiatives, has announced the availability of the Moonlight 1.0 Firefox extension, which is an open source implementation of Microsoft Silverlight for Linux and Unix platforms. According to Novell: Moonlight provides the platform Linux users need to use Silverlight and Windows Media content. In combination with Banshee, a Novell-sponsored project to produce an open source media player, Moonlight is part of a complete multimedia solution on Linux. Some questions are being raised about Moonlight's license, though.


Moonlight 1.0 Beta Available

Not long ago the Moonlight development team announced that the Linux Silverlight adaptation was drawing ever nearer to the 1.0 release. On December 1st, the Moonlight 1.0 beta version was released.

The few hiccups I encountered during installation had more to do with network congestion and user error than the application itself.



Moonlight 1.0 Beta 1 Nears Rollout, Calls for 2.0 Contributors

The Moonlight team has announced that the first beta release of Moonlight 1.0 is nearly ready for testing. Moonlight is an open source implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight product.

The project hopes to get new contributors to come aboard as it finalizes the 1.0 release and pushes forward to Moonlight 2.0. Developer Chris Toshok points to some of the upcoming development tasks, and says that because the 2.0 release will be larger and features numerous self-contained subsystems, developers have more opportunity to make a solid impact on the project.
